GoBrahma presented 'Paschimavahini Krishna' at Chowdiah Memorial Hall, Bengaluru.
Founder Roopa, when I went across to congratulate her, threw me a real challenge! She asked me 'Are you writing a blog?' I said 'yes, in my own style!' Roopa is my cousin sister's daughter! More about her later!
There is plenty of information available on the web about GoBrahma Productions! I could just copy and paste all that into this blog! I am old fashioned! While pictures speak a thousand words, I rather write them!
An earlier premier show based on Paschimavahini. Whispers of the river and the tree! -an enchanting tale of Paschimavahini Krishna presented by GoBrahma was equally inspiring!
The show at Chowdiah Hall focused on the temple. The story of temple coming into existence 200 years ago and how the family, the descendants, have continued to be part of the temple activities.
More about GoBrahma Productions! I suggest a quick look at the types of technology used. You see a show similar to a Broadway show is now here in India! They deserve all the support to make their venture a success. You can look for more information about them in Face book, Instagram and YouTube
Roopa while appreciative of the many people who worked with her, likes to thank the family which encouraged her and also did their bit in helping to develop the Krishnatemple story.
She said 'Raajeev was the resource person for the story of the temple. Bhushan and Rajeev had many calls before the first show to figure out the storyline.'
About the temple and the family
It is heartening to see the younger generation of the family involved in continuing the family tradition. They are greatly helped by Yahtiraj Mutt in following our traditions!
Interesting that the family has spread well within India, a few are Paschima Vasis (They live in the West). In fact Roopa and Naganand chose to get back to India from USA.
Roopa as a part of the family, is a member of the trust and is actively involved in the temple activities. The Paschimavahini Krishna temple the family trust, SVKSSS. continues the tradition of Tulamasa. This year it is from October 17 to Nov 15. Any help offered is appreciated!

Earlier blog on Paschimavahini:
The blog acknowledges the tremendous effort this group has put in a challenging task Please comment if you like to!
I am happy to share a comment on my earlier blog. There is hope for footfalls which Rajeev keeps dreaming.
I quote
In fact I have marked this temple to visit next time going inside and around.
Thanks and happy to see the information

The performance got a standing ovation and a thunderous applause!
ReplyDeleteRoopa your show was superb.Enjoyed it thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
Roopa, thanks a lot for such a rich and vibrant depiction of Kodagu’s dream of Krishna. It was a much enhanced version from the last one. Congrats to the entire Go Brahma group and the dancers. And thanks a lot for remembering Manju Paati—very thoughtful!
ReplyDeleteGreat. I always wonder if our Gopal Krishna at paschimavahini is the only one who has the Devine cow embrace him and facing on his left .
ReplyDeleteMost of the Krishna idols I have come across have the cow Turing from right .
That’s right. My granny would say this too!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Roopa! Looks like the event was a grand success! Congratulations for all the people involved!
ReplyDeleteWish we were there; looks mesmerizing๐ฆ
ReplyDeleteWe got the cow custom made. Its usual non-show abode is Living Room, G 214, Brigade Petunia, Bangalore (Sridevi @Sridevi ‘s place) ๐

ReplyDeleteSo good to have had @Tara (Tara Srinidhi), @rajeev, @~Anita , @Usha Kesari and @~Sita Vardhan helping at the stall for fundraising for Tulamasa October 2025. Kavya (my daughter was a big help too).

ReplyDeleteCreative and artistic khandan ๐
ReplyDeleteI have missed a good number of worthy shows in Chowdaiah Memorial Hall. Traffic is the most inhibiting factor.
Nicely composed blog. It appears to have been a nice presentation with all the frills. O wish I had seen performance.
